despite mizune's great efforts at subbing this series for us, i still haven't found the time to watch this great drama. glad to hear the movie's coming out, though.

I watched the series already. Looking forward to the movie, but I dont think it will be much different? since they have the same cast?

sorry to resurface an old thread but plainly speaking, did anyone else think the movie ended awful? i dont really feel like the movie accomplished anything and it seems to have taken the drama no where. it was at the same spot in the beginning of the movie when it ended. any thoughts on it?

My Thoughts

Yep - First this movie was really hard to get a hold of since it was a movie and not a SP it wasn't allowed on D addicts. Some nice person a Jdorama offered to share!!! So finally got to see it.

I was disapointed since Ithought it was going to have more of a resolution but it kinda still ended the same way ...
Summary:
For those who can't find it...
Pardon the rough spots I watched in a while ago

Rei and the band are offered a deal by this company. She still hasn't heard from Rui. She finds out from artist friends that he is in NY so she decides to go there. The Artist by the way is successful and lives with the Museum guy in a big loft -- she is in love with him but he is not inerested in her / or ladies.

So Rei and her hunt Rui down she is just about to give up hope when she spots him. He claims that she is mistaken and she ends up following him all over the place and even sleeps outside his apartment. Since she has folllowed him all over the place she is now lost and he shows her back to her friends house. Then he makes a mistake and she proves that he is Rui.

She beats him up a little for giving her a hard time etc etc. Then they're ok and she kinds moves in for a bit -- they are happy making breakfast going to the park. Rei is sad to find out that Rui has given up music.

Rui realizes rei has to go back (because she has music commitments waiting for her) and he really cant provide a life for her in his current place. So he picks a fight with her and they break up again... You know I think there was also an argument about why he doesnt play anymore etc etc and he tell her that it wasn't important to him anymore -- which of course she says cannot be true

BUT

As rei is catching her plane Rui comes running along and screams "I love You" -- um in English if you can imagine that ;). Rei leaves happily.

And Rui gets out his guitar to play (still in NY) while Rei and their band are playing their concert.

And they are still .... not together.

Does anyone know where to DL the movie? I might just be inept at searching for it.... and if there isn't a hardsubbed version, subs would be fantastic, too!!

If you like the lighter side of Ai, she was on an episode of Utaban, where she practically cracks up.I't's my favorite to date.Its on stage 6, if you want to see it.She laughs so much, you can't help but to laugh with her. :w00t:

Edit: PM me for a link if you want.
